They're pretty similar spec wise. Samsung has the better screen though. iPhone looks better (imo), more slick and minimalistic (if you like that sort of thing).

I think the iPhone has better build quality and a more solid feel, Galaxy S feels good in the hand but it has the plastic back.

Then it just comes down to OS preference, Android or iOS...try both out and see which one you like to use most. Also have to consider the respective app markets and sync methods (if you're happy to use iTunes).

Mind you if you're unhappy about the long contract (which is becoming standard for smartphones now) then consider the resale values. iPhone generally have the better resale value.

All in all I'd say they're pretty matched it's all down to personal preference.

Better build quality? jking?
Iphone 4's glass supposed to be something like 20 times stronger than normal glass. Apple may look good, but that has nothing to do with build QUALITY.
Ill say it again apple's products popularity is nothing to do with quality, its all about pricing strategies.

The iPhone 4 is superior in both quality of hardware and (in my opinion) operating system. Android is great, and some people may prefer it - but iOS is far more refined, optimised and a lot more functional.

I have an iPhone 3GS, my brother has a Galaxy. The Galaxy feels and looks a lot cheaper, and its multi-touch capabilities are pretty limited. The advantage of the Galaxy is it's probably a lot cheaper for the handset (might even be free), and the antenna may be better than the iPhone 4.

Stuff.tv has been reviewing technology for years. They obviously know more about phones than any of you. http://stuff.tv/Top10/Smartphones/ You'll notice the iphone 4 is at the top. Why? Simply because it is the best phone money can buy. If you want a galaxy s, which according to people who know more than you about technology, is an inferior phone to the iPhone 4, its your prerogative to have the inferior technology. Me? I went for the best because I feel like I deserve the best so the iPhone 4 was for me. It is expensive though, but absolutely worth the £140 up front and £35 a month contract. The galaxy s is almost certainly cheaper so that it has a market it can sell to.

Honestly, your incessant defence of the Galaxy is worrying. They're both good phones. Just because you probably bought a Galaxy and are worrying whether it was the right choice doesn't mean the iPhone is bad.

going to have to disagree with you there, genius bars are free to book an appointment and free to solve hardware and software problems, your only charged if your device (mac or ipod or phone) is broken and its your fault ( in my case they didn't charge me to replace the keyboard even though it was my fault), if its in warranty they fix it.

I think touch screen is the way to go and I can get £25/month (500mins, bla bla bla) an iPhone 4 or a Galaxy S.

Which one should I get?

The downside is even though I've been with them for 3 years they are trying to nab me into a 24 month contract.

LoL Gotta agree the C902 was a bad arse phone, I had it until it decided to stop charging properly .

I have the Iphone 4, and it's pretty decent. Although I am not with your ''bog standard'' network provider = Tesco, yep Tesco is who I am with; 12m, 750 mins, unlimited text, 1 GB of internet - but its £35 pr month. I plan after the 12m is over to go onto PAYG, as there are plenty of good deals nowadays that more or less give similar deals to that of contract.

I have samsung galaxy S. Only gripes I have are the fact that it doesn't possess a flash for the camera... taking pictures is quite a pain in the ass too because you have to tap the screen to take a picture rather than having like a side button. The fascia makes it feel quite cheap too.

Can you see properly?
the S does not look like a brick

Im not sure i completely get your point. i can see how the silver rim has been taken directly from the 3gs and put on the s. i can see how the home buttons and generally the whole look of the galaxy s has been copied directly from apple. so if one looks like a brick the other does. though your comparison is a matter of opinion and mine is a fact. anyway i think its cute samsung felt obliged to copy apples design. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all, and also a sign of perceived inferiority (definitely deserved in this case). Since you gave an opinion ill give one too. Both designs look VERY dated in comparison to the beautiful iphone 4. Look how crap the galaxy s looks next to it!!

The Samsung Galaxy S features a 4-inch, 480x800 pixel super-AMOLED color screen.
It's massive and sharp and the best smartphone screen out there.
Android also offers full multitasking unlike Apple

Also No iphone 4 fan has commented on the pin hack ... have they?...No thought not...
there is not a pin hack for the galaxy s... so thefore the galaxy s is better

your wrong about the pin hack they put an update on couple of weeks ago so you can't access peoples contacts through the pin hack.
